The need to decide how to assign customers to the couriers serving them touches many industries involved in the delivery of goods. Depending on the specific services provided, the needs for scheduling and route optimization can vary. Does route optimization make sense even when the customer group and order characteristics are relatively constant?

The Sentio team does not promise cosmic transport cost savings on day one. For example, during the first conversation with potential clients, we do not tempt them with 50% savings on fuel due to a reduction in the number of kilometres driven. Instead, we invite the clients to join us in an exercise to determine how much costs can be cut and improve the transport management department.

Every person managing a company wants everything to work in the best possible way. Every day, many people work hard to make the company as profitable as possible and gain new customers.

Every company that uses its fleet to provide services, runs daily planning the work of couriers, drivers, and service technicians. The dispatcher, who assigns drivers to addresses at which specific services shall be performed, tries to organise the work of a dozen or more people in the best possible way.

Z punktu widzenia organizacji całej floty problem robi się jeszcze trudniejszy.
